“It is a curious situation that the sea, from which life first arose, should now be threatened by the activities of one form of that life. But the sea, though changed in a sinister way, will continue to exist: the threat is rather to life itself.” WayLifeShouldFirstsFormExistenceSituationEnvironmentSeaChangedActivityOceanThreatEnvironmentalCuriousConservationThreatenedOur EnvironmentSinisterEnvironmentalistBiologistMarine LifeSave The EnvironmentOcean SeaSilent SpringOceans And SeasSea LifeThe Wild NatureBeach And OceanBeach OceanOcean ConservationMarine BiologyMarine BiologistWild Sea Book:The Sea Around Us Source: The Sea Around Us
“We forget today that Britain still depends for its livelihood and, indeed, its day-to-day survival, on the sea. But the Royal Navy is now pitifully small and has been reduced in size by the current Government, seeking economies to finance its social programmes. Fine while there is no threat to our security. But what use would schools and hospitals be if we could not protect our imports?” IfsHas BeensStillsUseGovernmentTodaySchoolSocialForgetEconomySeaSecurityFineDependsProtectSurvivalThreatSizeCurrentsSeekingFinanceBritainHospitalsDay To DayRoyalNavyProgrammesLivelihoodImportsRoyal Navy Author:John Keegan
“But the Iranians are surrounded by a sea of Sunnis who hate them. And if you look on the map, you can see that they're also surrounded by a bunch of American bases that certainly could hit them at any moment. The idea that the Iranians are a threat to the United States is absurd really. How are they going to hurt the United States of America? Unless we attack them first and then they use terrorism inside America.” IfsFirstsLooksIdeasStatesMomentsUseAmericaHateHurtUnitedUnited StatesSeaBasesThreatTerrorismBunchAbsurdMapsUnited States Of America Author:Michael Scheuer
“Nothing is as daunting as the threats associated with global warming. That's the biggie. Everyone bangs on about rising sea levels but the real challenge of a warming planet is ocean acidification.

“Depending on where you live, your threat is much different from the other person. If you ask a New Yorker today, because of the way the press plays it, he will say terrorism is his biggest fear. But for somebody living on a small island state, then it is climate change, the rise of the sea level, for his whole island may be washed away. If I go to southern Africa, they tell me it is HIV/AIDS and somewhere in Asia it is poverty. This is also why you will find it difficult to find agreements, because if you want someone to be concerned about your threat, then you should be concerned about his.” IfsWayWantShouldMayPersonsDifferentStatesPlayWholeTodayAsksDifficultLevelsPovertySeaConcernedPressesThreatClimateClimate ChangeTerrorismAidsIslandsAgreementSouthernAsiaHivNew YorkersLiving OnHiv AidsWhere You LiveBiggest FearSouthern Africa Author:Kofi Annan
“If there were reason for these miseries, then into limits could I bind my woes. If the winds rages, doth not the sea wax mad, threat'ning the welkin with its big-swoll'n face?
